PREFACE 

This  list  was  originally  prepared  for  use  in  collecting  data  for  a  bulletin 
on  the  birds  of  New  York,  but,  inasmuch  as  no  check  list  of  the  birds  of 
the  entire  state  is  available  for  the  student  of  our  avi-fauna,  it  has  been 
thought  advisable  to  publish  it  in  this  form,  hoping  that  it  may  be  of 
some  use  to  students  in  ornithology  and  serve  as  a  convenient  means  of 
keeping  notes  on  the  various  species. 

My  purpose  has  been  to  include  all  the  birds  known  to  occur  or  to 
have  occurred  in  our  state,  and  only  those  forms  have  been  admitted 
that  have  actually  been  taken  in  New  York.  Thus  the  list  contains  not 
only  our  regular  summer  and  winter  residents  and  migrants,  but  also 
those  that  occur  as  irregular  visitants  or  stragglers.  A  number  of  the 
species  recorded  have  been  taken  only  once  or  twice  in  the  state  and 
this  is  in  nearly  every  case  indicated  in  a  foot  note  with  the  proper 
reference.  It  is  believed  that  nearly,  if  not  quite  all  the  birds  of  our 
state,  that  have  been  recorded,  are  included;  but  for  any  corrections  or 
additions  the  author  will  be  grateful. 

The  list  is  divided  into  two  parts,  the  first  containing  those  birds  that 
have  actually  been  taken  in  New  York,  the  second  including  those  of 
which  we  have  no  satisfactory  state  records,  but  which,  having  been 
taken  in  adjoining  states,  may  be  looked  for  in  New  York. 

Strict  adherence  is  given  to  the  nomenclature  of  the  American 
ornithologists  union  check  list  of  1895  and  the  supplements  of  January 
1897  and  1899.  The  number  of  the  species  in  this  list  is  followed  by 
the  American  ornithologists  union  number  in  parentheses  or  brackets, 
and  as  the  pamphlet  is  designed  for  the  use  of  students  rather  than  ad- 
vanced workers,  the  common  name  is  given  first. 

My  obligations  are  due  to  Dr  F.  J.  H.  Merrill,  whose  kind  aid  and 
criticism  have  been  a  source  of  inspiration  in  my  work.  Also  to 
Dr  J.  A.  Allen  and  Mr  William  Dutcher  of  New  York,  Dr  William 
Brewster  of  Cambridge,  and  Dr  A.  W.  Butler  of  Indianapolis,  who  have 
been  so  kind  as  to  give  me  notes  and  suggestions  on  several  species.

Lanius  ludovicianus  Linn. 


1  Three  species  of  shrikes  have  been  recognized  in  New  York  state,  but  the  status  of  the  forms 
is  not  well  understood,  it  often  being  a  matter  of  difficulty  to  assign  individual  specimens  to  their 
proper  species.  William  Palmer,  after  an  examination  of  176  specimens,  proposes  to  "  relegate 
excubitorides  to  the  plains  region  west  of  the  immediate  Mississippi  wooded  drainage  area, 
ludovicianus  to  the  south  Atlantic  and  gulf  coasts,  and  Florida,  and  to  recognize  a  new  form 
(L.  1.  migrans)  as  occupying  much  of  the  remaining  region  of  the  east."  The  acceptance  of  his 
views  has  been  deferred  by  the  American  ornithologists  union  for  lack  for  material,  and  so  it 
seems  best  for  the  present  to  let  the  species  stand  as  given  in  Auk,  15:  241-58;  also  16:  133.
